Where a participant has been provided with a new identity under the Programme and protection or assistance to the participant is terminated, the Centre may, if it considers it appropriate to do so, take such action as is necessary to restore the former participant's former identity.
The Centre shall take reasonable steps to notify the former participant of its decision under subsection (1).
Where the Centre decides to take action to restore the identity of the former participant, he may, within twenty-eight days after receiving the notification, apply in writing to the Director of Public Prosecutions for a review of the decision of the Centre.
Where an application is made, the Director of Public Prosecutions shall —
before making a decision, give the former participant a reasonable opportunity to state his case; and
review the decision of the Centre and vary, confirm or reverse it, and inform the former participant, in writing, of the decision;
and the decision of the Director of Public Prosecutions shall be final.
Where the Centre takes action under this section to restore the identity of the former participant and the Centre requests the return of all documents that were provided in relation to the new identity, he shall return those documents to the Centre within seven days after receiving the request.
